Yesterday was dry with highs in the 40's, last night got down to low 20'sF. this morning there were two grass stems along the driveway that had fan-shaped ice crystals that had grown overnite.
Common phenomenon which occurs when moist porous stemmed plants, after fall die off, transpire moisture as temps drop bleow freezing and the moisture freezes as it is emitted....
Lovely and unique....

I have also heard it called Hoarfrost.
Good to eat during deer season.

Into my heart on air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those? That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went And cannot come again.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.
